Part 2 of Beverly Morrow's Texture of life quilts

Sorry I had to open another posting to show you the quilts of Beverly Morrow, I have too many pictures to show everything on one blog.  I didn't realize there is a limit to how much you can post to one blog.  So here is the last of the quilts.   Enjoy the life Beverly Morrow.

                               And here is the last quilt named  " 3D Poppies"

3 D Poppie was the only quilt out of the Beverly Morrow collection that was not my own design,
This design was taken from a wonderful quilt artist named Kumiko Sudo from her book Fabled Flowers innovative quilt patterns inspired by Japanese Sahiko and Orgami Traditions. 

What I learned in this book has inspired me to create my own designs. 

It was truly my pleasure in bringing you the Texture of Life quilts made in honor of Beverly Morrow mother to my friend Sally Bartlett. 

And since this is the holiday season I would like to share with you a poem I wrote about Laughter.


                          Laughter

Laughter stretches out
  through the house,
Bouncing around like a gitty child,

Seeping out the windows to the
   streets of noise,

Wondering !!!

Until it finds an ear to listen
not knowing of it's origin,
he smiles to himself,

As the infection of laughter
   moves the corners of his mouth,

Left to the imagination of his own mind,
that leaves the streets to another time,

When Laughter had a mind of it's own.


Written by: Donna Sheerin Gillis


May this holiday season find your homes filled with laughter bouncing off the walls.




Thank you for visiting my blog and I hope you enjoyed all I had to share. 

IN MEMORY OF BEVERLY MORROW

Hello all who view my blog.  It is my pleasure to present to you the art that I created from Beverly Morrow's clothing.   Beverly is the mother of Sally Bartlett, when Sally gave me her clothing she said to make what ever came to mind.  She trusted me to capture the essence of her mom.  While I was interviewing Sally about her mom.  She told me that her mom always wore flowers in her hair and also wore a pin on her blouse.  Beverly also collected tea pots.   I found her clothing to be festive and colorful.  It was a pleasure creating these Texture of Life Quilts in her honor. 

Every quilt has a pin from Beverly's collection of many pins.

The pictures will be presented with what the clothing looked like prior to the seams being undone.
